Its so disappointing when this location runs out of seasonal items. They are already only available for a limited amount of time. I barely go to Starbucks so when I do, I always get a seasonal treat. About a week ago, I tried the pecan cortada crunch. I loved it! I told all my coworkers about it and have been getting it since. Sucks I had to settle for a cappuccino. Luckily, this location is near my job and not my house. The one near my house seems to stay stocked in their inventory. Also, my hand burned as my cappuccino was handed to me without a sleeve. read more

Your typical drive-thru experience. Nothing extraordinary to shout about. Service was quick and professional. I was trying a new pumpkin cream nitro cold brew and it was decent. read more

Starbucks - Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

Always a reliable stop! Great coffee, quick service, and friendly staff. My order was made correctly and came out fast. Whether you're grabbing something on the go or sitting for a bit, Starbucks consistently delivers a solid experience. read more

I walked in, stood at the register, there were 5 baristas (3 at the drive thru window - 1 female hustling to make drinks 2 males making) no effort to assist her), no one acknowledged I was standing there and I was the only person in line and the only other in-store customer was seated. A simple, "We'll be right with you." would have been appropriate. I simply left. read more

Employee really rude. Deliberately ignoring us. Made us wait long time. Coffee was good

The person who took my order was rude and unprofessional. I encountered an employee who was clearly have an attitude problem. The person in the front counter does not listen on how customer want their drinks made. It's incredibly frustrating to pay a premium price only to have your order completely wrong and then be met with hostility when you politely ask for it to be corrected. read more

Excellent service, the lady who helped me was extremely friendly, courteous and quick to fill my order. Can't wait to return and will recommend this location to others. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

The staff here is very friendly and hard working. I typically go here in the mornings before school. The drinks and food is brought out in a timely fashion. The drinks are always correct. I came here the other day in the afternoon and they were super busy and backed up due to high volume of mobile orders for buy one get one free day. The staff told me they were behind but they handled it so professionally and at a timely fashion. Staff here is great. Thank you for your hard work read more

I've given this place multiple chances, but it's always the same story. These Liberal baristas here are incredibly lazy and half the time they don't even have most of the menu available. And it's not because they're "out of stock" -- it's obvious they just don't feel like making anything beyond the most basic drinks. It's total B.S. to advertise a full menu and then refuse to serve half of it. If you want a place that actually delivers on what they advertise, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

Service is completely horrible here!! Takes 20 or minutes to get a drink in the weekends. Today I placed a Mobile order and I show up and says cafe is closed I couldn't even get my order . I have wait in a huge line in drive through just to get my order I have been in line over 10 minutes and have 6 cars in front of me!! TURN YOUR MOBILE ORDERING OFF if you can't handle the flow !! No one placing a mobile order should have to wait in the drive through for an order they placed over 20 minutes ago. Then wait another 20 minutes to get it in the drive through . I get to the monitor and young lady asked for my order and I said I had a mobile order asked for the name and then I said that they should turn off mobile ordering ! Then I assume it was someone who was in charge says that turning off mobile ordering is not in his control and that he had four people called out today and I feel bad that happened and know the feeling all to well but this is HORRIBLE when a staff does know how disable a system that was causing a back of cars because there is not enough staff!! Mobile ordering is a great thing when you have the staff to handle the flow . 40mins to from the time I placed order to the time I was able to get through the drive through to get it . I'm never coming here again . I have a problem every time I come here always long wait times for drinks . I place an order in bridgewater and get to piscataway and still my drink isn't ready . I get we are all understaffed over worked but this is not a good way to keep a business flowing. read more

This is the slowest Starbucks I've ever been to. On 11/26/23, I waited over 35 minutes for two drinks. I asked 2 different employees about the 1 missing drink multiple times and they said they thought someone took the drink but I was in the waiting area the whole time and never saw it come out. When I finally got the drink, I tried to tell the employee what happened and she said "I just got here" and walked away from me. Terrible service. This isn't the only time they've been slow (usually about 10 minutes past the "expected ready" time on a mobile order). If you're mobile ordering, just do so way in advance. Or don't give this location your business as I plan on doing going forward. read more

I quickly want to shoutout my favorite Starbucks Barista, the beautiful black girl Linda and the beautiful Caucasian girl with the dimples who wears glasses, sadly I don't remember her name. Every single time I come to Starbucks and see them, my day is made. These beautiful ladies have an infectious spirit about them that is super impressionable. A lot of the staff here are nice, but these two are Top Tier. I can imagine it's not an easy place to work at; but you ladies manage the stress well. Kindness rules the world. May God bless them in every area of their lives. From a Starbucks Gold Member. :) read more

Starbucks - (Iced) Grande Chai Latte. Light Ice. Whole Milk. Extra Pump of Chai and Two Pumps of Vanilla. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

Surprising to see these really bad reviews since my first two visit here recently was a good experience. My first visit here a few days ago I wasn't sure what to order for a cold beverage since I am not really a coffee drinker, the lady who accident me was really nice to make a recommendation and didn't seem to rush me at her, she even complimented my shirt at the drive thru, I returned 2 days ago for the same beverage but seconds ago placing the order I switched it to try something else, as I pulled up the lady at the drive thru (different from the first with another lady) charged me for the 2nd order and offered me the original cold coffee for free since they had already made the first. They were really nice aside from the free coffee. read more

Starbucks - White Mocha and Caramel Macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

The sweetest people work here, always so kind, sometimes drinks take a few minutes longer bc of the amount of orders they receive which isn't their fault and is the only Starbucks for about a 20 minute radius (besides on Rutgers campus which is often closed), the poor workers receive so much hate for things out of their control, attention people, estimated time doesn't equal exact time, if your coffee takes and extra 3 minutes it's not because the workers wanted to be slow. You can tell they're overwhelmed sometimes but they always have a positive attitude read more

Slowest Starbucks!!! Literally have to wait 20-25 min in drive thru every time I come. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt but they never fail on taking forever. Probably faster going Into the Starbucks in target down the street read more

Constantly have the inside closed and the drive thru line is insane. Annoying when you order ahead. Nice picture of me with my Starbucks for my long drive ahead. read more

This Starbucks is a hit or miss. I ordered the Venti Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade (new item) and they made my order wrong twice. Line was super long (inside and out). read more

I ordered a grande violet drink through the app. The person hands me this at the window and goes "we were out of berries". You are supposed to ask me if I can substitute for something else????? Heck read more

Starbucks - "Violet drink" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

Every time I have ordered here has been a great experience! Everyone is so friendly and the pickup area is organized. The service is fast and I've never got a wrong item. There is also a leave a book take a book area which is awesome, kind of like a community library :) read more

I've been waiting almost 30 minutes in this drive thru and I ordered ahead. The wait is ridiculous. My drink is probably watered down with ice now. AVOID LOCATION AT ALL COST. read more

Happy Valentine's Day my fellow Adventurers! Stopped by this place between classes for my caffeine fix. So happy I did since coffee is coffee and Starbucks usually has a solid brew. The place is nicely set up with ample seating & parking unlike the one near me in Woodbridge, route 1 North. I HATE going to that location because of parking and just the overall atmosphere. I always find that patrons who go to this location are snobby and entitled. The Piscataway one is definitely better but obviously out of my way considering. Though to note that I usually get a Green Tea Chai Latte and no one seems to know how to make it anymore. I was ordering this for years and everyone knew exactly how and what it was, but unfortunately it's no longer the case. I did learn though that it's 2-3 pumps of chai and not just the one to actually taste it. Oh well! Great spot for my caffeine fix & breather from being on campus. read more

You would think paying $7-$9 for tea would come with a certain level service.... 3 times out of 10 my orders are incorrect when I visit in the evening. And those other 7 times is only because one particular barista is working. When I point out what's wrong the young lady takes my drink back with a giggle and a my bad.... I say all that to say consistent service is priceless. read more

Horrible service I order a coffee frapp and got a mocha instead also order a green tea lemonade and didn't get any lemonade in it when we asked the girl to fix the mistake they responded (we don't have time for it totally not a Starbucks standard not the first time it happens and worst of all the Barista has a terrible attitude and was extremely rude that's not the way to answer customer specially a person like me that gets coffee there every day ! read more

Starbucks - Proof of how they can't read nor prepare what I order - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

Slow, uncaring and unprofessional, drinks are rushed and breakfast is always messy and poorly prepared, Do better.

Such a beautiful store, but horrible service. They literally just stand around and the person on the register is the slowest and really doesn't care what you want. I Other Starbucks when the cashier is having a hard time the manager or somebody else will come in and help and be nice. At this store you feel like you're a burden on them. Anyway ordered decaf lattes, immediately after drinking them we knew they were not decaf. That's just wrong. read more

They definitely do not know what goes into drinks. So dissatisfied!! If I didn't have a 10 hour drive ahead of me I would have went in and got a refund. Beware! There's a Dunkin Donits down the road. Try there instead. read more

I go for the convenience of the drive through if I have time to kill but have a sleeping child with me, otherwise I support some of the local coffee shops because this place is horrible. This new location has been open for several months but the drive through service is the slowest I've seen. I have frequented the Chatham and green brook drive through locations dozens of times over the years, and I struggle to understand why I have to wait in line for upwards of 10 minutes when there are only a couple cars in line. Last night we were there shortly before 9:30pm and asked for a decaf. Due to the late hour we knew they wouldn't have any brewed but asked for a pour over. We were stunned to learn that they were already cleaning up (they close at 10) and therefore would not make us any. Update - 12/28/19. It's 5:09pm, they close at 10pm and they do not have any coffee brewing nor do they plan to! YOU. HAVE. 5. HOURS. TO. GO. Brew some coffee please! Not everyone wants an espresso drink! This is absolutely ridiculous! read more

This Starbucks used to be fantastic at its old location across the street. Ever since it moved there, the hours are unpredictable and the service is slow. The drive thru lane is always backed up so I always go inside to pick up my mobile order. Today the doors were locked with a hand written sign that said cafe closed 12-7 (it's 2pm). I had to go back to drive thru and after waiting in line, I see an associate open the door for another customer. I get back out of line and go back to the cafe. This place in general is poorly managed and I will not go back. read more

This Starbucks is the slowest one I've ever been to. My friend ordered a straight-up black coffee and it took them 20 minutes to give it to her. There's literally a crowd of 23 people in here waiting here for their drinks as I'm typing this waiting for my own drink (it's been 28 minutes)... So absurd -- definitely not worth your time to come here. Go to Penstock in Highland Park or somewhere else instead. read more

Ordered a grande green mango tea lemonade with 2 pumps of raspberry syrup and 2 pumps of mango syrup for $3.69. Even though Starbucks is a bit pricy this is the one drink I wouldn't think twice to spend my money on. If you like a bit of sweet and tangy this is the drink for you . I normally just get 4 pumps of mango however was being adventurous today and to my surprise I found my new favorite drink . I will be ordering this drink again . Suggestion - do mobile order in the morning so you can just pick it up and go ! I did the mobile order too late so I ended up waiting 2 more minutes but still got it pretty fast . Gotta love the mobile app!! read more

Terrible service with baristas that have bad attitude. I wanted to say these kids--everyone pays their dues. If you dont want to be there feel free to find something else to do like be a tiktoker or something. Never again. read more

Horrible service they're only focused on drive-through six people working on drive-through drinks

I've never had an issue with this Starbucks! It is great! The staff are friendly and they make yummy drinks. I will definitely go back. PS: there is outdoor seating (so it is good for COVID). read more

Always a long drive through line and they keep running out of the egg white and spinach wraps

This is the worst Starbucks known to man kind. If I can give negative stars I would do it without even blinking. The workers here are straight up lazy and they just stand around while my order takes 20 minutes to make. Please keep in mind that it's not even busy. I've asked for my mobile order when the girl started to take her phone and text and she looks for my order and goes "oh it's coming" -- coming where? You're standing there texting and the other workers are making drinks and food for themselves. It's just 1 girl out of 4 employees who was working. Whoever is the manager here you better check your cameras to see what's going on. I told myself I wouldn't come back to this location but I gave it another shot since my mom wanted Starbucks. This one really sucks and it is disappointing because I love Starbucks. read more

This is a great starbucks with a very friendly staff nice clean bathrooms and most the time you can get seating. Its the main starbucks I go to all the time read more

Starbucks - The front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

This is my Starbucks and I love it again. If you get the right crew it's amazing coffee. It can still be hit or miss but what Starbucks isn't? Never a place to sit for studying at certain times of the day, it can get really crowded. Grande caramel soy iced coffee for the win! read more

I visited this location about 2 weeks ago. I was in a hurry and I am having an extremely tough time with morning sickness and with certain aromas/scents. I was in a huge rush and with my toddler. I was already feeling nauseous and did not want take my son out of the car seat to go inside so I decided to order at the drive-thru. It was busy and I was really excited about my hot cocoa. The lady that took my order was very pleasant and actually very talkative. When I got my order and placed it in my cup holder I knew something was wrong. But I was in a hurry and I drove off. The smell hit me hard!!! I started to feel really sick and when I tasted my "hot cocoa" it was pumpkin!!! It took a lot not to vomit everywhere. At this point I was feeling really sick!!! I couldn't handle the pumpkin smell! I was really late for my appointment but turned back because I was ANGRY that they gave me a drink that was incorrect and making me extremely sick! I went into the store with the drink and the girl knew exactly who I was. She was very cheery and laughing as she quickly said "oh, you were ordered the hot cocoa right?" To see her so cheery and unapologetic really sealed the deal for me. I wanted to talk to the manger but I was seriously late! She handed me the hot cocoa that was just sitting there and laughed it all off as she was telling her coworkers how she messed up my order. I didn't get a sorry, I didn't get a sincere "oh, we messed up let me make it to you" All I got was laughter. Well, that's the last $ you getting from me. Train your staff to take responsibility and fix their mistakes with professionalism instead of turning it into a HUGE joke! read more

I live in town and this Starbucks has the most rude employees !!!! It never fails !! Every time I come here being alone or with my family we always get rude costumer service.
